Create and Approve Final Integration Test Plan

Use

The purpose of this task is to create a detailed final integration test plan. The final integration testing is a critical task in your implementation. Your test plan must include the following processes and components:

The final integration test plan ensures quality, and that everything defined in the Business Blueprint is tested. Identify the necessary processes and associated dependencies. Create a timeline outlining tests according to their sequence and dependencies.

This procedure describes how you prepare the integration test plan. Integration testing encompasses areas that cross departmental boundaries, bringing together the efforts of previous tasks. The objective is to build on what has already been developed.

Before integration testing can begin the plans must be approved by the business process owners and members of the project team for the developed plans.

Procedure

  1. Assemble integration test plan
    The integration test plan is the document that brings together all test plans (from all enterprise areas) and activities. Ensure that the sections that comprise the integration test plan are complete. This step assembles the sections into one document. The order of the integration test plan must be:
  1. Assign Timeframes and Resources
    Update the integration test plan with timeframes by entering the planned completion date. It may be helpful to have two completion dates: one for the test scenario documentation and another for the test itself. Also, assign a test team member for each test case.
  2. Obtain approval
    Prepare an approval package for each business process owner and test team member (project team member). Include copies of the test cases, plans and schedules for Final Integration Test (I1, I2).
    Obtain written approval from each business process owner and each test team member for the plans developed for Final Integration Test.

Result

Approved integration test plan
